Knight Rider Series Moves Forward

As I sit here and type this news about a new Knight Rider series, I’ve realized that I haven’t yet watched the two-hour movie that premiered in February. It’s sitting on my DVR waiting for me, but I just haven’t’ got around to it, which might not be that bad considering what I’ve heard about the TV-movie.

Regardless of how bad the movie supposedly was, a series is still moving forward at NBC. It was pretty much a given, but now its official. More from Variety:

Many of the series in contention for the Peacock lineup boast a fantasy or action element, including one show just added to NBC’s 2008-09 roster: “Knight Rider,” the Doug Liman-produced actioner whose two-hour backdoor pilot snagged solid ratings in February. Project has been given an episodic order and has been mentioned as a contender for a Friday night timeslot.

Friday nights? So it’s already be given a death sentence. All kidding aside though, I think this series has potential so I’m willing to give it a shot. Hopefully it will turn out better than the other NBC remake, Bionic Woman.
